So im removing the center diff in a 1g awd auto and it got me thinking about the viscous coupling and its importance.
When welding the center diff i see that some leave the vc alone, some cut the vc down, while others remove it completely. How much does each effect the overall strength of the center diff? With as tight a tolerance that the vc fits in there, there has to be some support gained from leaving it in there? Shaft support or relieve some stress on the outer gear?
There isnt much info on this topic in particular out there. Opinions?
